All Too Hard enjoyed a stakes double on Boxing DayA five year-old mare trained by Frank Robinson, Roy’s Riviera was already a Listed winner and scored a length and a quarter win in the 1600 metre feature taking her overall record to five wins from 28 starts.

Yet another stakes-winner bred by Gerry Harvey, Roy’s Riviera was a $70,000 Magic Millions purchase for Worldwide Bloodstock from his Baramul Stud draft.

Roy’s Riviera is a half-sister to stakes-winner Sebring Sally and is one of six winners from good producer Donna Amata, a half-sister by Anabaa (USA) to stakes-winners Yesterday and Donna Dior from the family of Golden Slipper winner Catbird.

Donna Amata has no yearling for the sales in 2020, but did produce a filly foal by Sebring this year.

Her half-sister Sebring Sally does have a Magic Millions entry with Milburn Creek to offer her first foal, a colt by American Pharoah (USA) as Lot 740.
